Financial services customers are expected to more effectively manage the business rules that govern trading, lending, underwriting, claims, origination and fraud prevention. Insurance customers are expected to be able to optimize complex underwriting through multi-variable "what-if" capabilities, apply business logic to highlight high-risk claims and make improved claim adjustments.
